I just happened upon this obituary while searching for something online. My heart stopped. I had not talked to him (I knew him as William—I see others refer to him as Spike) in a very, very long time, but I received my very first kiss from him a long time ago, sitting on a wall on a cold winter’s night in Woon, RI. Indeed—-the gentlest of souls. How unbelievably sad.

I am very sorry that Bill suffered so much and that you lost him so tragically. He had such a kind soul! So sorry for your loss.

Message from The Dolber Family

We are so sorry to hear of Spike's passing. Our condolences go out to Autumn and his family during this difficult time. Spike was a true original with a great intellect, wit, sense of humor. He was also a kind person and gentle soul. He will be missed by all.

A Buddhist Prayer for Peace

May all beings everywhere plagued with sufferings of body and mind quickly be freed from their illnesses. May those frightened cease to be afraid, and may those bound be free.

Sorry to read of the passing of Spike. He was devoted to his daughter Autumn when I met him. His world revolved around doing what was in the best interest of his daughter. He was an awesome single dad and He educated me on many things while I helped him with child development. Deepest sympathies to Spike's family and friends. We are all a better person because we knew him. Godspeed RIP

Bill was always a kind and soft spoken person. I never heard him say a bad word about anyone. He took great pride in caring for the children he carried on his daily routes. His love of family always touched my heart. An old soul now gets his wings.

Message from Mätthew Griffin

Spike, you are forever a hero to your children, family, friends and the world.
You were not afraid to stand-up for what you believed in and gave so much, to help other's poverty.

You are gone, now; but you will never be forgotten.

Eternally,

Your friend (and "Royal Pain in the butt"),
Mätthew Griffin
